Panasonic CQ-C9800U Car CD Player

An analog amp varies its voltage to control power amplification. In contrast, a digital amp controls power amplification by rapidly switching the current on and off to drive the speakers. This promotes cooler operation so higher power can be handled without increasing heatsink size. This is how Panasonic achieved the difficult goal of fitting 70W x 4 (max.) amp performance in a car audio package.

Spice up your drive with Panasonic CD receiver's high definition 3D action graphics that look especially cool on the illuminated blue display. There are five motion patterns, including Formula 1 racecar action and a scenic cityscape called Metropolis, and 10 still images to choose from. You can also customize the background (motion/still image), opening, and ending screens using your own images stored on a CD-R/RW disc. There are a wide variety of these images available on Panasonic's special download website. All you have to do is download the images you like, burn them onto a CR-R/RW disc, and load the disc into the CD receiver. You'll be able to replace the pre-installed images with the new images on your disc. Using the customizing software, Image Studio, from the special download website, you can edit and process your own digital images (video and stills) to use as 3D Dot matrix background screens.

A radio's IF filter has the job of preventing neighboring broadcast frequencies from interfering with reception of your desired station. Panasonic Radio DSP uses an advanced algorithm to perform this task digitally, so you only hear the station you want. It maintains the optimum balance between noise suppression and sound quality by automatically adjusting the IF filter bandwidth in response to the variable interference you may encounter as you drive.

This CD receiver not only plays CDs, but also CD-R/RW discs, including MP3 and WMA formats. If you've got WMA and MP3 music files recorded on the same CD-R/RW disc, no problem - Panasonic CD receiver can handle it. For your listening pleasure, the acclaimed Alphatuner V FM/AM tuner circuitry is built into this unit as well, and there are 18 FM and 6 AM presets. Through years of experience, Panasonic's advanced technology has made it possible to pack all of these incredible features into such a compact 1-DIN form.

You can easily upgrade to an external amp system by using the dual preamp outputs on this 4-channel head unit. This allows for a maximum output voltage of 5V and output impedance of 60 ohms that not only help protect the signal from external noise, but also permit low power amp gain for powerful reproduction of transient peaks with minimum distortion. In addition, a non-fading, low impedance subwoofer output is available to make adding a dedicated subwoofer amplifier to your system easy.

Personalize your sound system with Panasonic's SQ9 nine-band graphic equalizer. Not only does it provide manual adjustments to help you fine tune your music, but it also offers a series of one-touch equalizer settings, such as Rock, Pop, Vocal, Jazz, Club and Flat.
